Disclaimer: Sailor Moon and characters do not belong to me, but since they
ignored Darien so much, I get to play with him.
Vigil:
How could I have known when I found Rini asleep at my door, that disaster would so quickly follow? The child, fearful and misunderstood, had run away again from Serena. I put her in bed, but she woke before I could contact anyone. She didn't want to talk at first, so I tried a psych trick they used to use in the orphanage. I brought out a Tuxedo Mask puppet I had found (the rewards of notoriety), and got her to talk to it. She asked it what I thought of Sailor Moon. "She's the best!" I said without hesitation. (Does she know?) Just then Serena came, looking for her. As I turned to let her in, Rini jumped off the balcony, her magic ball becoming a parachute. That's when Serena told me she had taken her brooch with the crystal and we ran down to find her.
A UFO came down out of the clouds, filling the sky above the city. It was Rubeus, he had found Rini. The other Scouts were there to protect her, while we were still blocks away. I transformed running alongside Serena. When we arrived on the scene, the Scouts were using the Sailor Planet Power against the gravity beam Rubeus was using, but Rini was too scared to move. I ran forward and got her away before she could be taken. Without Sailor Moon, they weren't strong enough to strike back and Rubeus transported them to his ship. He announced that Sailor Moon had three hours to ransom them. Three hours to decide the fate of the future or the present. As I write this, Serena and Rini are talking to each other. I hope they work out their differences.

I scribble this note while I keep vigil on a rooftop, the two mooncats by my side. They're gone, all gone! Sailor Moon, Rini, the other Scouts; Rubeus has them all. We can do nothing to help, only my connection with Sailor Moon reassuring us that she still lives. I pray they will return. I will not despair, I must believe in her strength. There will be a future. Just as I told Luna and Artemis when those two girls crept out to confront Rubeus, I think they are related. That Rini was drawn to Serena for that reason.
Sailor Moon, you have to return. Serena, return to me. I need to make things right with you. I still love you.

They returned, triumphant and exhausted just before dawn. I started carrying Rini as we went to Ami's. (They had arranged it the night before while searching for her.) Mercury was leaning on Mars, leading the way through the nearly empty predawn streets; Jupiter supported Sailor Moon, Venus and the mooncats followed.
We hadn't gone far before Sailor Moon was stumbling. I handed a now–sleeping Rini to Jupiter and picked up my princess. She was so wiped out she also fell asleep in my arms. I was so happy to hold her again. I lowered my head and drank in the sight of her, the scent of her. Concealed by the brim of my hat, I kissed the top of her head as she snuggled next to my chest. All to soon for me, we arrived at Ami's place and I had to leave. This can't go on, my soul can't stand it.
AN: Thank you to those who reviewed. (You know who you are!) All that I am writing is in keeping with the story line. It's just thoughts and scenes to support the character of Darien. (Sorry, you fans of Peter Caine.) I am writing a novella, not in journal form, which is a continuation of this story line. It has more interaction between the characters featuring a lot of minor ones that usually aren't used (ie: Kenji, Ikuko, Molly, Sammy and of course, Andrew) plus Peter and another x-over. It's a romance/humor/drama set near the end of "S".
